Dear Resident – Safety and security is a responsibility shared by all who lease or sublet with Harvard University Housing (HUH).

Subletting Overview • The Sublet Application form does NOT constitute a lease and is only a request for approval to sublet. Harvard

University Housing (HUH—the Landlord) will not assume responsibility for any arrangements made betweenthe primary tenant(s) and subtenant(s), and HUH does not mediate disputes between primary tenant(s) andsubtenant(s).

• We strongly suggest you make your own agreement with your subtenant(s).• All sublet terms are subordinate to the terms of the Affiliated/Harvard University Housing Lease. If the terms

of your agreement and the Harvard lease are inconsistent, the terms of the Harvard lease govern. If theHarvard lease is terminated for any reason, the sublet is automatically terminated.

• Subtenants may NOT move into your apartment without prior approval from Harvard University Housing. Todo so otherwise is a violation of your lease agreement and grounds for eviction.

• Please review the subletting section of the Policies and Procedures for Harvard University Housing Tenants(http://huhousing.harvard.edu/sites/huhousing.harvard.edu/files/documents/Tenant_Policy_Manual.pdf) fordetailed information about subletting policies.

Who is eligible to sublet my apartment? • A Harvard University affiliate—anyone who has proof of active affiliation as a student or employee of the

University during the sublet period. A proposed subtenant who does not have a current Harvard ID mustprovide their Harvard University acceptance/appointment letter or Harvard department-issueddocumentation, including assurance that the subtenant will receive an eligible Harvard University student oremployee ID, with the Sublet Application.

• Harvard Summer School students, as long as their affiliation is active during the sublet period.

• We recommend confirming eligibility prior to entering a sublet agreement. The affiliate must have a studentor employee role. Having an HUID does not guarantee eligibility--not all researchers, interns, etc., are eligible.

• Authorized Occupants, such as a spouse/domestic partner, parent, child, or sibling of the subtenant or otherpersons approved by Harvard University Housing, may live with the approved subtenant once registered withHUH by the filing of a Sublet Authorized Occupant Form (included in this kit). Authorized Occupants may onlylive in the apartment while it is occupied by the approved subtenant(s).

Who is not eligible to sublet my apartment?

• An HUID Person of Interest affiliation (e.g., special borrower, library, temporary access, vendors, andSmithsonian cards).

• Students who have already graduated, as they are considered alumni and are no longer current affiliates.

• Students graduating in May are not eligible to sublet over the summer.

• Family members who are not eligible Harvard affiliates.

Please send an email to [email protected] if you have questions regarding eligibility.

How do I find an eligible subtenant?

• The only place you are allowed to post your listing is on the Off Campus Housing site,http://harvardhousingoffcampus.com. Your HUH sublet listing will be free of charge on this site IF you carefully follow the directions for an HUH resident posting an HUH sublet. Your listing will remain pending for further review and processing by HUH. Our system is updated every business day, and your listing will be reviewed as quickly as possible. If the listing information is incomplete or inaccurate, the approval process will be delayed.

• Click here for detailed information on how to enter your listing(http://huhousing.harvard.edu/sites/huhousing.harvard.edu/files/Listing%20a%20Harvard%20University%20H ousing%20sublet.pdf)

• Be aware that posting your listing on any other site is a violation of your lease agreement and grounds for eviction.

• For questions about posting on the Off Campus Housing site, please contact the vendor directly(https://www.harvardhousingoffcampus.com/help). Let them know that you are a Harvard University Housing resident posting your apartment for a sublet.

• For questions regarding your sublet application, email [email protected] or call 617-495-1459.

Note: Off Campus Housing is a third-party vendor site, not a Harvard-owned website.

When may I sublet?

• You may sublet during the winter recess (late December—late January).• You may sublet during the summer recess, as long as you either have extended your current lease or newly

signed an HUH lease for the upcoming academic year.• You may not sublet your apartment during summer recess if you have chosen to terminate your lease.

Exceptions to the winter and summer recess periods may apply if you are on an approved leave of absence, aslong as you have renewed your lease for the upcoming academic year.

• If a tenant is transferring from one HUH apartment to another, only the new apartment can be sublet.
